Accidental space to create So I slipped in a hole and hurt my ankle so I took it as an opportunity. That meant I had a day to slow down amidst the travelling, where I could make art with my small travel art kit. I started creating these small mixed media art owl stories thinking they were large owls on a page. They are works in progress and really are about playful connections in small moments. Inspired by the owls I had connected with earlier in our Indonesian adventure. They filled the page and somehow I felt they needed space. I love the way each artwork influences the next. There is a kind of magic in the way each layer transforms and adds meaning. For me this flowers and bird collection is inviting a sense of space and openness into my world. For me art is all about learning, and growing into your own stories. It’s how I make sense of my world. I’ve learnt to trust these guiding feelings as an intuitive artist. The full page owl became a double page. I’m not sure what layer is next but they are definitely waiting for flowers to be added to these garden spaces when I return home to Melbourne m. The owls fit beautifully into the emerging collection of mages of flowers and birds in backyard garden spaces. They create a connecting thread with the series I have been completing at home. Peaceful uplifting garden spaces that are calm and peaceful. #imperfectbeauty#wildsoulcreativity##soulstories#flowersandbirds#innerstories#healingarts#natureconnections#connectinglayers#mixedmediaart#intuitivestorytelling #creativedyslexic#artlifebalance#creativedyslexic#artasmeaningmaking#artwip#owllove#mixedmediaowls#travelart (at Kuta Mandalika, Nusa Tenggara Barat) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiheseuPJU5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stories make up the layers of our life. So, if you change your story, you can change your life. We're all storytellers. Master your narratives, and you'll master your mind. Limiting beliefs are narratives we learned at some point, but no longer serve us. Empowering narratives are those that lift us up to our higher selves. Your brain can spend time on either type of story. What's your story? Quote: "She knew the power of her mind and so programmed it for success." Carrie Green. These are our inner stories. Watch for my upcoming post about our outer stories for business or organizations. #story #storytelling #yourstorymatters #highperformance #influence #bizlife #levelup #beyou #narratives #innerstories (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4CJk8XBmeU/?igshid=oh30dv0rxc6b

Ezra Klein interviews Richard Powers, the author of “The Overstory,” which won last year’s Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. He also just released his latest novel, “Bewilderment,” which some say is an extension of “The Overstory.” I read Overstory last year. I’m probably making a lot of sick of my constant promotion of the book. But I’ll stick with one of my primary reasons for promoting it: to understand the climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis and the extinction crisis are part and parcels of a humanity crisis we have created, you have to step back and think about how that happened, what it means, and how each of us can be a part of the solution. Reading fiction such as “The Overstory” helps to do that.

I bought “Bewilderment,” which I will tackle as soon as I finish “Ministry of the Future” (which I also highly recommend, to scare you shitless about the climate and the environment) and “Peril” (the Woodward-Costa book about trump).

The transcript of the interview is really long, and in places really complex and dense. But it’s worth a read, maybe in parts. Here’s the intro to the inteview:

There are certain conversations I fear trying to fit into a description. There’s just more to them than I’m going to be able to convey. This is one of them.

Richard Powers is the author of 13 novels, including the 2019 Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Overstory.” If you haven’t read it, you should. It’ll change you. It changed me. I haven’t walked through a forest the same way again. And I’m not alone in that. When I interviewed Barack Obama this year, he recommended “The Overstory,” saying, “It changed how I thought about the earth and our place in it.”

[You can listen to this episode of “The Ezra Klein Show” on Apple, Spotify, Google or wherever you get your podcasts.]

Powers’s new book is “Bewilderment.” You could think of it as ‘The Innerstory’: It is about how and whether we see the world we inhabit. It’s about the nature and limits of our empathy. It’s about refusing to die before we’re dead and taking seriously the gifts and responsibilities of being alive. It is about how we change our minds and how we change our societies. It is about how we treat delusion as normal and clarity as lunacy. It is enchanting, and it is devastating.

It is not just books through which Powers has been exploring these ideas. It is also through radical changes he’s made to how he lives his life. That’s where we start but far from where we end: This conversation touches on mortality, animism, politics, old-growth forests, extraterrestrial life, Buddhism and beyond.

I love the idea of imperfect/ beauty. The way nature has a wild freedom in it that creates these connected threads. Exploring these layered threads through an artwork is a way of making meaning and connecting through the natural world. I’m exploring these layered connections in a new collection of flowers and birds. One layer at a time - evolving art stories. Enjoying the discoveries along the way. Small shifts to make on my return from my Indonesian adventure. I do love the learning layers that gather along the way. These stories are about peaceful uplifting stories to fadd happy to small spaces. #imperfectbeauty#wildsoulcreativity##soulstories#flowersandbirds#innerstories#healingarts#natureconnections#connectinglayers#mixedmediaart#intuitivestorytelling #artlifebalance#creativedyslexic#artasmeaningmaking (at Pantai Kute Mandalika Lombok) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cie-XKnPqnL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
